Description
The action of turning in bed can sometimes be difficult but with the help of the new Turn Easy Single Fitted Sheet with four way draw sheet that has a center panel of low friction satin things are different. Getting in and out of bed is easier for both residents and the carers that assist the less able. When an alternating pressure mattress is in use the Base Sheet with corner securing straps gives easy access for tubes. The sides and foot ends are made of good quality material to help you from slipping off the edge of the bed and give a certain amount of grip to aid movement. For the less able there is draw sheet which has a satin underside and remains in place for the patient to lie on. The two low friction surfaces working together enable a carer to turn roll or move the patient up or down the bed. This is accomplished without handling the end user thereby facilitating anti pressure practice where regular turning is required and the long 2 meter draw sheet can be firmly tucked in ready for the next move. The system is available with a two way or four way draw sheet and it has been found that because the system is permanently in place there is no searching for a slide sheet or worse not using one at all. Using these sheets is compliant with tissue viability requirements as it is with moving and handling procedure. Made in the UK and are fully hot washable. They are found to be very useful not only in hospitals and nursing homes but also in domestic situations. The ease of turning takes the strain off the carers back.
